3 out of 5 stars A (re)mixed bag with some awesome highlights.......2003-03-26

Followers of regular Numan output will appreciate some of the tracks here. Folks completely new to Numan's genius should look elsewhere (try Pure, Exile or Sacrifice). This album is not so much remixes, but rather re-workings of some classic and more recent Numan songs. For the most part Numan has re-recorded the vocal track and let a few 'names' from the music biz re-work/re-arrange the song. Some tracks work (Dominion Day, Rip) and others' don't (Me! I Disconnect From You, Cars). The real tease in potentially buying this CD are the 3 new tracks. Hybrid is actually a mashing together of different parts of the song Pure, so really doesn't qualify as a new song. However, Crazier and Ancients are new and are so worth the cover price alone. If it means anything, I've been a Numan fan since '79 and I think Ancients is one of the best songs Numan's ever done. It's electronics meets (restrained) industrial meets a 36 piece orchestra (honestly!). A ballad with a menacing edge! Crazier will be released as a single in the UK in May '03, so that should indicate it's commercial and wider audience appeal. It's a great track too.

1 out of 5 stars Forget that album!.......2003-03-18

The worst album the master of new wave have ever made!
If you like noisy remixes of longtime know tracks from a - nevertheless - great musician, buy it!
If you like GOOD music buy Numan's other stuff, but not that!
Sorry, Gary, you've done many albums better than this!
